In fact, Toki Yorijun also went to the doctor for a sudden illness.

I thought that with the support of the Asakura family, even if I couldn't join Mino and defeat Saito Toshimasa, at least I would be able to regain some of the territory. In reality, however, the Asakura family was also on the sidelines, because in addition to the Asakura family, the Oda family of Owari was also involved in the matter.

When they learned that the Oda family was already preparing for the next year's invasion of Mino, the Asakura family decided to take a look first. Coupled with Asakura Takashi's current physical state, there is a feeling of weakness in it. Seeing that the Owari Oda family, a supporter of Toki Yoriyi, was about to invade Mino, and his own supporter Asakura clan here did not move, how could he not be in a hurry?

If Toki Yoriyi defeated Saito Toshimasa and became the master of Mino, wouldn't there be nothing to do with himself at that time?

Therefore, Toki Yorijun hurriedly found Tsugawa Soji, since the Asakura family is a little unreliable, then the only way to find a backer is to find a new backer. And the Tsugawa family claims to be a division of the Toki clan, whether it's true or not, at least on the surface, it's impossible for Tsugawa Soji to ignore the affairs of the Toki clan.

Even if it doesn't work, then I can go to the Tsugawa family, and no matter how bad it is, I can mix up some knowledge and deeds or something, and revive the name of the Toki family.

As for Toki Yorichun's intention, Tsugawa Soji still guessed a little, but to be honest, Mino is too far away, and the Tsugawa family is completely out of reach! And after next year, the marriage between Mino and Owari will begin, and there will be no chance to make a move at that time.

"Lai Chundian, if he is not prevaricating, he is really powerless. The family lives far away from Dewa, and is close to powerful daimyo such as Date and Uesugi, so it can be said that it is surrounded by strong enemies, so for the encounter between Lai Chundian and Lai Yidian, the family can't help it! ”

"Of course, if you can't do anything, Lai Chundian may be able to go to Deyu and his party, and the family will definitely sweep the couch to greet him!" Soji Tsugawa said with a sincere face.

After Tsugawa Soji finished speaking, Toki Yorijun raised his hand and was about to say something, but after lifting it in the air, he put it down dejectedly, "That's it, that's it!" Thank you for the kindness of Lord Tsugawa, but Lai Chun was born in Mino, and he should die in Mino! ”

"There is a lot of trouble today, I am leaving!" With that, Toki Yorijun stood up and left the main hall with a dejected expression. Soji Tsugawa sighed and got up to send Toki Yorijun out.

Toki Yorijun came full of hope and eventually went disappointed.

For the Toki clan, Tsugawa Soji can't talk about any feelings, although the Tsugawa family is from the Toki clan, but once Tsugawa Soji is a traverser, all the Tsugawa family needs is the banner of the Toki clan, and as for whether the Toki clan is destroyed or not, it doesn't matter what the Tsugawa family does.

"Lord, the city lord of Anju City asks to see him!" Returning to the temple, Soharu Tsugawa was about to take a nap, and as soon as he lay down, he heard a report from Yajima Tadahei.

"Asakura Keitaka?" Tsugawa Soji wondered, it seems that he is not familiar with the people of the Asakura family, why did the retainers of the Asakura family come to see him? If Asakura Takashi wants to meet with him, the person who comes should also be the person next to Asakura Takakei.

Tsugawa Soji was full of doubts and met with the visiting Asakura Keitaka in the side hall.

Asakura Keitaka was the head of the Asakura clan's family, and the castle was Anju Castle, and his son was Asakura Keiken, who later served as the general of the Asakura family in the Battle of Sister River.

"I've met Tsugawa-sama, but I couldn't talk to you here three days ago, so I took the liberty to visit today, so please don't mind Tsukawa-sama!" As soon as he entered the house, Asakura Keitaka said very politely to Tsugawa Soji.

Tsugawa Soji also hurriedly returned the salute, "Lord Asakura is an important minister of the Asakura family, and it is also an honor for my family to be able to discuss with Your Excellency in detail." ”

"It's just, I don't know what the important thing Lord Asakura is here?"

Asakura Keitaka nodded, then reached out and took out a letter from his arms, "Lord Tsugawa doesn't know, and there are three sons below. The eldest son and the third son are from the main chamber, and the second son is from the side chamber. ”

"The eldest son died young, and the second son left home. Although it's just a concubine, but after all, it's the son of the next, and as a father, I'm also very concerned about it! Asakura Keitaka said with a deep sense of love, "Two months ago, Kojiro wrote that he had gone to Dewa and had become a samurai from the Tsugawa family. In addition to being happy, I didn't think much about it, so I came to ask Lord Tsukawa for verification. ”

"Uh......" Tsugawa Soji was stunned for a moment, Asakura Keitaka's son was actually a samurai of the Tsugawa family, and he hadn't heard of it at all!

"The dog's name is Asakura Kojiro Keishige, and he is seventeen this year!" Seeing the appearance of Tsugawa Soji, Asakura Keitaka hurriedly added.

And Tsugawa Soji still has no impression, and there is no Miao character Asakura in the retainers of the Tsugawa family in his memory. While Tsugawa Soji was pondering, Yajima Tadabei on the side suddenly interjected, "My lord, the ashigaru head of the Ueno Castle Castle is called Asakura Kojiro, could it be that he is the son of Asakura-sama?" ”

"Oh?" Tsugawa Soji nodded hurriedly, then turned his head to Asakura Keitaka and said, "I think this person is correct!" ”

"Ashigaru head..."Asakura Keitaka was a little disappointed, if Asakura Kojiro didn't leave Asakura's house, he wouldn't be just a mere ashigaru head. However, in front of Tsugawa Soji, Asakura Keitaka couldn't show anything, "Even so, there is a letter here, and if you can, please hand it over to Inuko on your behalf!" ”

Yajima Tadabei hurriedly stepped forward at this time to take the letter from Asakura Keitaka's hand, and then stepped aside.

"When did Tsugawa-sama leave his family for Kyoto?" After some discussion, Asakura Keitaka suddenly asked.

Tsugawa Soji thought for a while, and then said, "There are many affairs at home, and this trip takes a lot of time, and it is like an arrow in the heart, of course, the sooner the better." ”

"In that case, in a few days, the new shogun of the shogunate will hold a succession ceremony at Hiyoshi Shrine in Omi Shiga Prefecture, and the main family will also send an envoy to observe the ceremony, so will Tsugawa-sama be willing to go with him?" Asakura Jinglong said with a smile on his face.

"Is that so?" Tsugawa Soji said with a surprised face, and then reacted, it seems that Ashikaga Yoshiteru succeeded Ashikaga Yoshiharu as the shogun at this time. Sure enough, I live far away in a place where birds like Izuba don't.,The news is blocked.,Even there's no news about such a thing!

"The change of shoguns is a major event for the samurai, so naturally we should go! Speaking of which, the family has also prepared a lot of gifts to give to the general when they come to Beijing this time, and it is very suitable if they can go to watch the ceremony! "Tsugawa Soji's reaction was not at all what Asakura Keitaka expected, after all, it can be said that it is a great honor to witness the birth of a new shogun.

Even if the shogunate exists in name only, at least there is still a name there, isn't it?

Early the next morning, Soji Tsugawa came to Ichijo Valley Castle to ask for his resignation from Asakura Takakei and vaguely proposed that he wanted to go to Hiyoshi Shrine with the envoy of the Asakura family to observe the ceremony. There is no objection to this, and this time the envoy of the Asakura family is the Asakura Zongdi, who is known as the god of war!
